A 4.4 magnitude earthquake shook southern California, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, causing little damage but worrying residents of a disaster following in the footsteps of Haiti and Chile.
The earthquake was centered near Pico Rivera, about 11 miles from the Los Angeles Civic Center. The LA County Fire Department say they have not received any reports of extensive damage. A 4.4 magnitude earthquake is described as a quake that could break windows and knock "books off the shelf," at the most.
John Bellini of the U.S. Geological Survey says there is "always a chance" that a small tremor could be foreboding of a much larger quake, but that residents should not worry.
Do you think California will be the next to get hit in the string of disastrous earthquakes, or is the media making a lot of news out of nothing?

+3even if we had a massive earthquake like Haiti, we do not really risk the same destruction that occurred in Haiti. the fact is simple. our infrastructure is much more sound and our ability to have immediate aid and response would make it easier as well. in that sense i think it is all media hype that needs to be cooled down.
Not having any plan in case of an emergency is just stupid.
Eni way I loved visits in the summer
Even before I heard or saw the movie "2012," I did believe that the earth is undergoing some major changes related to our positioning in the galaxy and with all the major earthquakes over the last five years I am not planning to visit California any time soon. Indonesia, China, and Chile are all on the pacific plate as well as California so yeah, I'd be real worried to be in that state, but then I'm more prepared for tornadoes than earthquakes being from Kentucky. Kentucky did have an earthquake a couple of years ago which I slept right through. My daughter did wake up and think it was a tornado but she went right back to sleep which, at the time, I didn't find amusing. LOL
I went thru the Loma Prieta quake in 89 in the Bay area. Scary stuff,
AIG will pay me off and because I have been so smart, I will give myself another 10 million dollar bonus. But because I am too big to fail, I can get bailed out by all you hard working tax payers while I go to Mexico for the winter to find a safe investment for my 18 million dollars. Suckers.
By the way, who does he think will pay to send aid and then to rebuild California? What you said was apropos.
Obviously this is God's punishment for being bigoted.
Also Hollywood is the ONLY part of the economy that has proven to be virtually recession proof. Tear that down and the entire country goes with it I'm afraid.
I think you just find it easier to condemn it if it can be liberal. If it's conservative then you have quite a dilemma don't you? And I'm not saying it's conservative. I'm just saying it's not as black and white as you may think.
His father is sitting right across the table... I still don't know where you got the idea that his father isn't around. Your blind assumptions are making you look like an even bigger idiot. Please explain to me how you got these ideas.
May this post be an example of your idiocy. I know my life better than you do. You made incorrect assumptions form the get go. You ARE incorrect. As you do not know me I fail to see how you THINK you know exactly what is going on. Clearly you do not. LOL.
here. You must be one worthless guy.
Are you schizophrenic or something cause you keep talking about my imagination when you have been making blind assumptions about me since you first replied to me after never once talking to me. you are grasping at straws. It is time to quit while you are ahead.
You have made rude, ignorant comments not only about me, but also my child. I would love to know the thought process of this. As I would like to go back to college for Psychology. a little personal research doesn't hurt. Especially considering you call yourself a righteous man.
